Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

LOL ... This kid would legitimately need to move in with Fletch ... That's a major project ...

Dust off the Tisdale diet plan

That's actually fairly common.

I'm gonna need to see the science behind that statement before I buy into it.

I really don't see the similarity here...

 

[RickBB]

Too soon.

Here’s a great article on one of our bigger recruiting misses from your buddy:

The end of that article talking about a Marcus LoVett shows why I’m not a college coach. I thought that kid was going to be amazing.

He's Canadian might be a conversion issue with the metric system

I love this comment!

Just goes to show, no matter how great of a dad you are, your child can still be a dick who's nothing like you.

Kofi is Arnold in this scenario.

Kofi is Arnold in this scenario.

I'm sorry but being Danny devito should only be associated with excellence!!!!!

It's the brow shape.

He doesn't have to make impact by gaining lots of weight though. He needs to keep his agility to play the perimeter game. His template is Chet Holmgren at 7'1", 195 lb. He is already 200 lb according to 247. I think he will be great at 220 lb.

I was #4 on the whites. Still waiting for my offer.

Very impressive. Everyone will be after him before all is said and done.

I don't say this lightly... there are some serious Steph Curry vibes right here.

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

I can’t figure out DGL. Can he be the 8th man on a high school team and look like that? I guess so.

 

[ChiTown]

Am beginning to like what I see from the youngfella.

You are actually saying that incredibly lightly, haha. Let’s not go comparing the kid to one of the greatest basketball players ever.

Speaking of looking like Iowa basketball players, I think the Brock Harding kid at Moline will end up being a player. Got a chance to watch him play, and he seemed like a quicker/more athletic Bohannon, although maybe not quite the shooter yet. They blew out Rolling Meadows last night and might be the best team in the state.

Best team in the state? They’re a bunch of maroons.

Yeah. Trea Young vibes.

 

[Joel Goodson]

DGL's outside shot has beautiful arc. Plus plus athleticism too. Kid has a lot of tools.

 

[DAM1298]

Yeah. Trea Young vibes.

Slowly but surely working our way to a reasonable comp

That's Belleville West...

What is the level of competition like?

 

[jjniner]

Hopefully Dra does not forget about defense in that NBAish looking league!
